    Venture impact Technology investment in the Greater Philadelphia region Trends and highlights, January 2008 to June 2013 Innovation, investment and opportunity On behalf of EY, Ben Franklin Technology Partners of Southeastern Pennsylvania and the Greater Philadelphia Alliance for Capital and Technologies (PACT), we are pleased to present this review 421 companies of technology investment trends and highlights in the Greater Philadelphia region. $4.1 billion The technology investment community in the Greater Philadelphia region includes a wide variety of funding sources supporting a diverse array of companies and industry sectors. In this report, Total investment since we’ve analyzed more than a thousand investment rounds and January 2008 exits that occurred in the Philadelphia region since 2008 – including investments from venture capital fi rms (VCs), angel investors (Angels), corporate/strategic investors, seed funds, accelerators and other sources of funding. As shown in this report, 2012 reversed a post-recession slowdown in venture funding in Greater Philadelphia, and to date, 2013 has brought a welcome increase in the amount of new funds available at regional investment fi rms. These are positive signs for our region’s technology companies, as are the increasing number of exits via IPO and acquisition, which serve as further validation of the investment opportunities created by our region’s growing technology sector. We encourage you to explore this report, and we hope that it will provide useful insights into the current state of

  • Trends of Venture Capital Internationalisation the Impact of a Technology Ecosystem on Early Stage Cross- Border Investments
    Trends of Venture Capital Internationalisation The impact of a technology ecosystem on early stage cross- border investments . AUTHOR Anna Ahlm TUTOR Conny Overland Spring term 2014 FEA50E Degree Project in Business Administration for Master of Science in Business and Economics, 30 credits Abstract The venture capital industry has grown rapidly in the last decades to become an important source of financing for entrepreneurs. While research suggests that venture capital investments are more likely to be successful if done in close geographic proximity to the venture capital firm, there is clearly a trend of increasing international investments. This thesis looks at the venture capital community in New York to understand venture capital as a part of the development of New York’s technology cluster, and to understand venture capitalists view on cross-border investments. By applying the ecosystem resource perspective model, the study finds that venture capitalists have a strong influence on the technology ecosystem in New York, due to its large financial sector. The study also finds that ecosystem sub-sectors have developed by applying technology to the dominating business sectors in New York. The study also identifies a “reverse internationalisation”, whereby companies founded abroad relocate to New York at earlier stages in their development, as the growth of the New York ecosystem has increased its attractiveness to foreign founded companies. While the empirical results confirm an increasing interest for cross-border investing, the increased supply of early stage investment opportunities (U.S. and foreign founded) creates a strong incentive for a local investment strategy. Further, the study finds that venture capitalists mitigate the risks associated with cross-border investments by establishing funds in specific regions of interest, and by co- investing with local partners.
